Error: macOS version >= 10.13 is required using Big Sur

[federicodemaddalenab52]

Hi,
I've just updated macOs to 11.0.1 (Big Sur), and every time I try to execute confluent local start kafka or confluent local start schema-registry or confluent local start (I tried with these three commands), I get this error:
Error: macOS version >= 10.13 is required for all Confluent Platform features to work (detected macOS: 11.0.1). Error: exit status 127.
I think that the trouble is in validate_os_version() function. But I don't know if Big Sur is already supported by Confluent Platform.

I've the last version of Confluent Platform (6.0.0).

Same issue here. In the meantime you can do the following:

zookeeper-server-start /usr/local/Cellar/confluent-platform/5.5.1/libexec/etc/kafka/zookeeper.properties
kafka-server-start /usr/local/Cellar/confluent-platform/5.5.1/libexec/etc/kafka/server.properties
schema-registry-start /usr/local/Cellar/confluent-platform/5.5.1/libexec/etc/schema-registry/schema-registry.properties

Ran into similar issues.
Figuring out the correct local config file were but difficult.
Hence did the following work around to use confluent local start.
confluent local start uses sw_vers to find the mac version.
Created a local script sw_vers placed this file in confluent bin directory.
cat sw_vers
echo "10.13"
Export path such that confluent bin directory takes precedence.
export PATH=$CONFLUENT_HOME/bin:$PATH
Use confluent local start to start the platform.

@rnatarajan , thanks for finding problem spot in script.
Inspired by your finding, instead of workarounding sw_vers, I've just fixed bug in script locally, i.e. the line:
if [[ ${mac_version_major} -lt 10 || ( ${mac_version_major} -ge 10 && ${mac_version_minor} -lt 13 ) ]]; then
means (let M - major version, m - minor): if ( M < 10 || M >= 10 && m < 13 ) then error.
The condition is obviously wrong, because it will true for all M < 10 || m < 13
The fix is: if ( M < 10 || M == 10 && m < 13 ) then error.
that is:
if [[ ${mac_version_major} -lt 10 || ( ${mac_version_major} -eq 10 && ${mac_version_minor} -lt 13 ) ]]; then

--- update ---
as I tried to create pull request, I've realized that the same fix is already proposed in #137
